The Dodo is a halo brand for everyone who loves animals from people who are obsessed with their pets all the way to committed animal advocates. We want our audience to connect with animals through our stories, and feel empowered to help where help is needed ... The Dodo was founded on the observations that animal content is among the most widely shared on social media and that people care about the welfare of animals more than ever before.
Home for Life will be open for tours this summer and into the fall. We open for tours the first weekend after Memorial Day and then offer tours all summer long and as late into the fall as weather permits! We love to have supporters and new friends visit our facility and meet our animals.
Longtime volunteer and friend to Home for Life, photographer Mark Luinenburg was at the sanctuary the second week in May, and it turned out to be perfect timing. There are a few weeks each spring at Home for Life where the entire property seems blanketed in gold, dappled in sunshine: an abundance of dandelions cover all the meadows and fenced exercise areas. The " fields of gold" proved to be a perfect backdrop for the happiness of our animals after a long winter. Inside the catteries, the beautiful cats generated their own rays of sunshine to shine in the photos. Below some of our favorites of Mark's spring shoot. To see all the photos from his spring visit to Home for Life, check out his public album: https://goo.gl/photos/pcsdDSr2rmbxxwv76

Kirsten Eitrem is a photographer whose work we have followed and admired for a long time; she not only takes such beautiful photos which convey the uniqueness and special spirit of each subject, but also has a heart to give back, supporting many of the Twin Cities animal rescues. As she says, "I like to help out all the amazing animal rescues in the area and offer photography services to foster pups looking for their forever home.A good picture can help a dog get adopted!"
